I find the pair of videos by Kurzgesagt on YouTube to be much more appealing for me. Link for people interested: 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc

  I really enjoy Isaac Arthur's videos on the subject (he has a playlist with several hours of content exploring different possible solutions). The rest of his channel is great too; he posts a new 30-60 minute video every Thursday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDPj5zI66LA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDPj5zI66LA Edit: The entire playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIIOUpOge0LulClL2dHXh8TTOnCgRkLdU https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIIOUpOge0LulClL2dHXh...

    Issac Arthur has his stuff together. His videos are for the most part well researched and contain a lot of interesting hard sci-fi ideas. The only time I've seen him fall down is his video about quantum computing, but to be fair, a lot of people get caught by the same mistake. It's not the case that a quantum computer is trying out all of the bit-strings that are possible answers in a kind of quantum-superposed parallel computing. That's not exactly what is happening. One of the key insights: Qubits store complex numbers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrbJYsep45E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrbJYsep45E
